Self-proclaimed hate crime recording group Tell MAMA has demanded that Google review its algorithms to ensure that searches on topics such as grooming gangs and terrorism do not yield “anti-Muslim” results. Tell MAMA alleged that “far right” groups have manipulated the search giant’s results to stoke tensions against Muslim communities living in Britain, in the “anti-Islamophobia” organisation’s annual report.

“A higher ranking not only increases their legitimacy but may draw vulnerable individuals into extreme echo chambers.”

The document, which looked at 1,223 “anti-Muslim acts” reported to the organisation last year, claimed that any association between grooming gangs and Muslim communities is “not backed by evidence”.

It is absolutely legitimate to criticize the religion of Islam, just as it is legitimate anywhere in Europe to criticize any particular religion or religion in general.Nobody is protected by blasphemy laws or is beyond legitimate criticism and there is in my view a very great deal to criticize about Islam.

Uh, Islam is anti-Muslim.
But, we all know that Google will assume the Dorkbama position which Imams love.

Since the GooglePlex isn’t bomb proof, I expect they will bend over for this one.

You probably meant to say that he was a war mongering pedophile......doesn’t make it any better, just from a different perspective.

There’s nothing positive to say about a death cult.

His hat looks like it belongs to a penis worshipping cult too. No wonder Hollywood loves them so much.
